Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah And Paul Pogba Joined By David Beckham And Jose Mourinho In Star-Studded Adidas Advert Ahead Of The World Cup

The race to be the most noticeable brand at the World Cup is on after adidas began their usual war with Nike by releasing a star-studded advert including the biggest names in the sport.

The German sportswear giant took advantage of their myriad sponsorship deals with football stars by inviting Barcelona’s Lionel Messi to appear alongside Mohamed Salah, Paul Pogba, Luis Suarez and David Beckham to name but a few.

During the advert, women’s freestyler Caitlyn Schrepfer shows England’s Lingard a clean set of heels before combining with Salah and teeing up Alli to hit a sumptuous volley into the net.

Pogba, who has had to absorb intense criticism from the French media recently, appears to play the biggest role as he is given the task of controlling the official World Cup ball while wearing the company’s new Predator Tango 18+ Street trainers.

Although he may be in poor form on the pitch, he displays breathtaking control with the Telstar football, which despite its retro look boasts a state-of-the-art thermal bond technology which gives it a seamless surface for pinpoint accuracy and low water absorption.

The 90-second ‘Create the Answer’ advert is not just limited to footballers.
